I decided to create a chat for the more casual followers of MT since there (more or less) isn't one. Technically the irc channel exists and is good for following fred directly, but it's not very user friendly and doesn't give you many features for casual chat (like fonts, user icons/profiles, the ability to post images and so on).

It's basically just something I decided to do on a whim, but if it gains interest there is a code so that it can be embedded on the MT site, and if any forum mods decide to participate I'll extend moderator privileges by default. So pretty much have fun, don't be a douche and hopefully I'll see some of you there.

We'll have to see what becomes of MT Central now. I don't know how much the old forum's instability had to do with it and how much was just time and attrition, but the "haven't read the comic in years" crowd seemed to have died off.

I know in my case, it had everything to do with it. But that's just me.
